Pain after working out?

[noraphantom]

My legs hurt so bad yesterday was my first day
today I have to do cardio according to my program but I can't even walk should I run or walk or just rest?

[Miezko]

Go out and run, take it easy. You know a nice slow pace. You'll fill good about yourself because you stuck with your workout plan even when it was hard. Also, skipping one day can have a tendency to turn into skipping one week, one month, and eventually it becomes what workout plan? And, believe it or not, but the run will actually help alleviate the soreness.

[noraphantom]

I thought the same too ıf I skip one day ı could skip the whole plan as you said so I tried to run but I couldnt and I walked for 30 mins and I was about to fall down for a few times but luckily I didn't :)

[Miezko]

Awesome job!

Was this your first leg workout in a while? The first couple times back are BRUTAL, but it only lasts a few days. After that, it's a slight and manageable soreness that lasts for a day.

yes ıt was
It's better now

Rest, soreness comes because your body is not used to the type of strain and movements you've put on it because you haven't worked out in a while. Give it a few days, might even take 3-4 and then go back to it. If you feel up to it, you can take it at a slow pace, whatever your body can handle. Make sure you stretch and roll out your muscles.

If you're in pain, you rest. I suggest that you take a nice Epsom salt bath and drink lots of water.

[noraphantom]

thank you for suggestion do you think even I walk for 30 min on treadmill will be bad for me?

[LaVilaine]

If you're in pain already, you're going to risk hurting yourself further and seriously. You might have to dial down your workouts in the beginning until you build up enough strength to push yourself without injury.

[noraphantom]

thank so much :)

[LaVilaine]

If after the Epsom salt bath you feel up to it, do some light cardio. Low impact if possible, like walking or cycling.

[akadatank44]

What kinda of pain do you have? Just soreness and stiffness?

[noraphantom]

just soreness and ıt's better right now

[akadatank44]

Yeah its just DOMS. Drink enough water and stretch and it should be fine.

Are you in pretty bad shape conditioning wise? If it's just muscle soreness, suck it up and keep going. Take some ibprophin or naproxen for the pain and just keep going. If it's localized and you think you might be injured, go see your doc.

[noraphantom]

Yesterday was a leg day so my legs are hurting but only top of it but I dont think I get injured but It's even hard to sit down

[Xfitchick]

Probably too much weight and no stretch afterwards. Do some cardio on low level. It will help recovery.

There could be pains after first day. Keep working out.

[noraphantom]

so you think I should run instead of resting?

[A-Clockwork-Orange]

Yes.
Do not rest.

[Regulatus]

If you overdo leg day, you'll be lucky to walk from bedroom to the bathroom the next day. Forget about stairs!

The soreness is completely normal. Going for an easy run today will loosen up your muscles. Just make sure you stretch really good before the run and after.

If you in extreme pain that is a problem. It is common to have some pain after a workout.

[Petrichorlover]

It's quite normal don't push yourself u'll get used to it soon

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Is it pain or just soreness?

[noraphantom]

soreness but ıt gave me a lot of pain while I walk and when I was trying to stand up but ıt's better now

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

If you're just sore, it's fine. After stretching, it won't effect how you perform as opposed to an injury. It just feels pretty uncomfortable. Realistically though, you shouldn't be doing cardio and lowers consecutively

[PlzJustDie]

Stretch. And it'll pass.
